Tour the Bohartor Host a Traveling Program

We are now accepting reservations for the 2017-2018 academic year. Due to scheduling most inquiries and bookings will be handled on Fridays.

Tours

Organized groups (ages 5 and up) require advanced reservations. (Individuals and families can just walk-in for free during our regular hours for a self-guided visit, but the collections are off-limits for browsing.) The guided tours include an exploration of the collection (butterflies), the "Oh My!" collection, and our Arthropod Petting Zoo. If you need a more tailored tour, please let us know at the time of booking. Tours cost $4.00 per person or a minimum of $40.00. (Fees do not apply for standard UCD classes and organizations.) Tours are typically 30-60 min.

To start booking a tour call the Bohart at (530) 752-0493 or send us an e-mail under contact us. Include your name, contact information, size of group, and several possible tour dates. Note we are not able to provide tours on Fridays.

​Because of the size of the museum, we can handle only around 20-25 people at once. Larger groups will be divided into smaller groups. Group leaders may want to consider visiting other campus sites in conjunction with a Bohart Museum visit. This University Outreach website has additional options.
